Rust on Plants

In early summer I transplanted a hollyhock plant from my friend Becky.  I put it on the west side of my house in a super sunny area.  Thought the thing would grow like wildfire and really take off.  But it has never done well.  In 7+ weeks it started to develop this little yellow orangey spots.  I kept ignoring them, and holding onto the fact that the new growth was spot free.  Then finally I got off my behind and asked my neighbor Grace for some help identifying the problem....which she concluded as rust.  I took off the infected leaves and did spray it with my organic fungus spray that I used on my tomatoes when they had blight.  We'll see how things go and hopefully with the help from this article the infected plant,


will look like this.
